Chapter 7: Bow to Your King
"Students of Honnouji Academy!" Satsuki yelled atop her pedestal with Terry at her side. "Today is the day where we embark on the complete overhaul of the student council! In seven days time we will have an election. An election for change, and an election in the form of a battle royal!"
'Oh, this is gonna be hella fun!' The host thought in excitement.
"Here you will have free reign to attack your peers, with no restrictions on tactics or weapons. But unlike normal elections, you will not be choosing someone to represent you. You will represent yourselves! Your rank, your status! Your way of life!" The woman continued. "At the end of this week the survivors will gather here, and participate in a sudden death runoff! And to whoever wins, I will personally grant a brand new goku uniform! Now students of Honnouji Academy… FIGHT!"
With that, the battle royale commenced with students all over the place trying to bash each other's skulls in while she hid herself in a life fiber jamming field. With Ryuko, she was with Mako and Mikisugi watching over the whole thing.
"What the hell does she think she's doing?" The girl asked.
"It's all part of the plan, Satsuki knew that if she took herself out of the equation it'd be anarchy." Mikisugi shrugged. "That reminds me, how are you feeling? I mean, finding out that the girl you thought killed your dad is actually your sister must be a pretty big bombshell."
"Not gonna lie, I thought my brain melted at that very moment." The girl admitted. "It's not exactly something you can just take in stride." She added.
"Not gonna argue with ya there… Hello, looks like Terry's decided to come to class today to show off the gear his three star form swiped from Tsumugu." The teacher said as Terry started fighting the hordes of students like Rambo in the jungles of Vietnam and absorbing all the life fibers.
"Wow, look at him go!" Mako gushed in excitement, watching as he chucked a student into another's stomach.
(Later)
Terry stood atop a mountain of students who were all stripped of their uniforms and clutched his stomach as Toxin started to evolve.
"RAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" He roared as an explosion of red and blue energy erupted around him as a new form became outlined in the sunset, the most tell tale features that could be seen were a set of Cell styled bug-like wings, and a Frieza-like tail and exoskeleton armor as well as what could be a scorpion styled Kabuto-esk headdress.
"We… Are… Kamui Toxin." The pair hissed as their now visible human eyes shown in the dark.

-Mankanshoku residence-
Ryuko walked into the house and found the family just casually enjoying dinner in spite of the ruckus outside… Oh, and they were also making philosophical talk.
"Why is everyone just sitting around looking philosophical all of a sudden?" Ryuko questioned.
"Oh ya know, just thinking about all the great stuff we've learned recently. Like how instant gratification isn't what it's cracked up to be." Mr. Mankanshoku shrugged.
"Yep, patience is a virtue. Plus I figured that if everyone's tired from fighting I'll have easier pickins, pocket pickins that is." Mataro smirked.
"Mataro!" The matriarch of the family scolded, pinching her cheek.
Ryūko smiled as she watched them interact. "Hey, I'm gonna head out, mind if I use your scooter?" She asked.
"I got it for you. Managed to scam it off the scooter store owner." The doctor replied with a thumbs up.
"Oh, can I go too?!" Mako chirped giddily as she followed Ryūko outside.
"... Eh, why not." Ryuko shrugged. Where they were going wasn't dangerous, so what would the harm be in bringing her friend along?
"So how come you didn't go to spend the week with lady Satsuki? I thought you'd want to spend some time together with her so you two could get to know each other." The girl asked over the wind and scooter engine as they drove.
"Trust me, I was tempted. Then I decided to wait a bit for that. I'll probably go to her after this election is over and done with." The Kamui user replied as they traveled.
"Okay!" Her friend chirped. The two continued to drive until they reached Ryūko's old mansion home, or what was left of it at least. "So is this where you used to live? What happened to it?"
"It used to be my dad's old mansion. I lived here with him after… I guess after he found me? I'm not really sure anymore." Ryuko sighed. "Me and him didn't always see eye to eye and he sent me to boarding school where I slowly turned into a punk, right until…" She continued before she was plagued with images of her dad's death and the mansion exploding. "... He was killed six months ago."
"Oh…" Mako muttered as she looked down. "Well… It's not so bad, now. You've got us." She said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah." The girl smiled. "Come on, let's go home." She told her friend.
(Elsewhere)
With Terry he was back in the cocoon with Satsuki and he had just finished telling her of his Kamui form, which had apparently adapted to the point where Toxin was now immune to the symbiote's most debilitating weakness: Sound. This being due to the fact that most of his fights (around sixty percent or so) was with the music club.
"Well, I must say that this is a pleasant development." Satsuki commented after Terry had finished explaining what happened.
"I'm way past Junketsu in terms of power now, in fact I'd go as far as to say that I'm as strong as my Gigantomachia form if it had more control." He nodded.
"So what do you plan to do now?" She asked.
"I plan to test it out by fighting the Elite Four all at once. I won't destroy their uniforms, I'll leave that for Ryūko to do. But I will establish my dominance over them, as King." He proclaimed resolutely.
"I look forward to it. What kind of Queen would I be if I didn't have a King to rule beside me?" The woman in front of him purred.
"There have been Queens who've ruled alone, but I see your point." He smiled as he kissed her passionately while he took her into his arms.
Things were looking interesting for them.
(Meanwhile)
Ryujo was feeling irritated. She and Mako were traveling on the highway to get home when the scooter suddenly ran out of gas. So now they had to walk home when her friend got the idea of hitchhiking.
This was responded to by a hot pink limousine blasting past them and blowing exhaust fumes in their faces. This of course pissed Ryuko off to no end.
"Hey why don't ya watch where you're going ya jackass!" She yelled. Then, to her surprise, the limo then backed up to them, revealing the driver to be Gamagori. "Oh, it's you Gamagōri." The girl sighed.
"Matoi? What're you doing here? I thought you'd be with Lady Satsuki and Guinness." The blonde questioned.
"I decided to wait until after this election is over. Anyway, my scooter ran out of gas. Mind giving us a ride?" The black haired girl asked.
"Sure, hop-in… What are you doing, Mankanshoku?" The man questioned in an irritated tone as Mako started bouncing in the back seat.
"Wow, these seats are comfy! Is this a new car?" She asked before she started looking over the hood. "This must be a new car! Look at how sparkly it is!" She chirped with a smile.
"Is she always like this?" Gamagōri asked as Ryūko climbed in.
"Yep, and when she gets going, she doesn't stop." Ryuko replied as they started traveling while Mako started singing.
"You mean you can't get her to stop that god awful singing?" The disciplinary chair groaned.
"I'm afraid so. Sorry." The scissor blade wielder sighed. Suddenly, airsoft bullets started getting fired at them. "WHAT THE HELL?!" She yelled in shock.
"I thought this would happen. The Automotive and Airsoft club's merged recently to become a new club, and it looks like they're after me." The man explained as he tried to avoid their pursuers.
"So they can have a better shot at bettering themselves, I'm guessing?" Ryuko asked as she and Mako ducked away from the airsoft bullets.
"Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. Guinness had been picking off the clubs best fighters one by one for the past day, but suddenly stopped after his symbiote evolved into a Kamui. This caused many of the clubs that were left over to merge." Gamagōri added. Ryuko took the information in with wide eyes.
'His symbiote evolved into a Kamui? Shit. He's been real busy.' She thought.
"That being said, even if these guys are fast, it takes more than speed to be a good driver, it takes skill, too!" The blonde said as he got the car to go into a tailspin. "Oh no, we're out of control!"
"No shit! That's what happens when you crank the wheel like that, you ass!" Ryuko snapped as they spun out of control before crashing into a wall. In an instant, they were swarmed by cars belonging to the Automobile Airsoft club, including the president who was somehow a car himself.
"We got ya now, Gamagōri! What're you gonna do now, cry?!" The car man yelled.
"It's gonna take a lot more than you punks to make me cry, and even if I did shed a tear, I'd just wipe the damn thing away! And put you down!" Gamagōri yelled. He then activated his uniform, causing him to transform. "Three Star Goku Uniform: Shackle Regalia!" He called. The large club then started shooting at him. "Yes! Punish me, oh I've been such a bad boy! When you punish me, it feels like you're ripping my heart!" He moaned in ecstasy. This, naturally, caused Ryuko to feel weirded out.
"Oh days, he's a pervert." She groaned.
"Not a pervert, a convert! Lady Satsuki helped me when I needed help and showed me how strong I could be, so I waited. Three years I waited until she graduated so that I could join her at Honnouji Academy and got this goku uniform as a reward for my loyalty." He told them as his body began to bulge.
"Three years?! Just how old are you?!" Ryuko gasped.
"I'm turning twenty this year." The man growled.
"What the-?!" The blue eye girl gaped in disbelief.
"Wowzers, he's old and perverted." Mako said.
"Ohhhh, the more punishment I take, the bigger, and harder, I GET! It'll keep building until I reach my climax and then the power I've been building up inside of me will EXPLODE!" Gamagōri yelled before he blew up and his suit changed shape. "Three Star Goku Uniform: Scourge Regalia!" He roared as whips flew everywhere.
Ryuko and Mako looked on in shock at the sight while Senketsu was just as surprised.
"A two stage transformation… That's new." He mused.
"Yeah…" The girl nodded.
(Later)
"Drive safely, alright? And don't talk to strangers." The disciplinarian of Honnouji Academy told the two girls. "And be careful Mankanshoku, honestly you're like a five year old in a teenager's body." The man added with a sigh as he gave the girl a good natured pat on the head.
"All my stoplights are yellow!" She replied with a smile, Gamagori instantly knowing what she meant.
"Huh, 'proceed with caution'. That's a good philosophy, Mankanshoku, I'll keep that in mind." He mused before he got in his limo and drove off.
(The next day)
Terry stood in the gym in front of the Elite four and was popping his neck from side to side and cracking his knuckles.
"Can someone please tell me what we're doing here again?" Sanageyama questioned.
"You guys are gonna fight me all at once, and when I'm through, you're going to bow down to me, as your king." Terry smirked.
"Is this to prove you're worthy to lead us alongside Lady Satsuki?" Inumuta questioned.
"Exactly, Inumuta, glad to see you're still the brains of the operation." The host nodded.
"Heh. Good. I finally get to see what you're made of, Guinness." Sanageyama said with a grin.
"I want to say you don't need to do this, but if you really insist…" Nonon trailed off as she grinned in anticipation.
"Good, since we all agree, here we go." The boy said before he bit his thumb enough to draw blood, and then let Toxin drink it, causing him to transform. Seconds later, his new form was revealed.
His new form was drastically different from his previous ones. Now only dressed in a pair of very short red skin tight lycra shorts, red arm sleeves that were attached to a blue vest, along with red ninja style sandals, and a scorpion-like exoskeleton armored kabuto which had two tassels dangling by his ears. Lastly he had a set of bug wings similar to that of the first form of imperfect Cell and a tail that reminded the group of Frieza's tail in his final form. His exposed layout of course left his almost superhuman physique on full display, mostly at least.
"Life Fiber Fusion! Symbiote Kamui: Toxin!" He called as he struck a battle pose. The Elite Four looked at him with wide eyes… Well, three of them did, at least.
"Wow… So that's what it looks like." The Music Club chair commented with wide eyes, having heard about what she was looking at.
"Is that… A tail?" Inumuta asked in disbelief.
"This is certainly different." Gamagori said with wide eyes of his own.
"So… Are ya gonna gawk at me all day, or are we gonna fight?" Toxin growled as he got ready to attack.
The Elite four then transformed, first was Blade and Shackle Regalia, then came Jukuzere and Inumuta. Inumuta's Uniform was a skin tight Sci-fi bodysuit with holographic keyboards all over it: this was Probe Regalia. And Jukuzere… Had a massive heart shaped speaker tank as a uniform. This was Symphony Regalia.
"Alright, LET'S GO!" Sanageyama shouted as he and his fellow Elite Four members charged forth. The symbiote duo just smirked and charged back at them.
"Too slow." He smirked as he sidestepped Sanageyama and delivered an uppercut kick to his gut before swatting him several feet away with his tail.
Jukuzere tried to attack him with sonic blasts, but this only made him look at her in annoyance before the host charged at her and gave her a mean right hook before giving her a roundhouse kick.
"Normally I don't hit women, but this is to show that I'm worthy of leading you. Nothing personal." He told her.
"Thanks for saying that." She groaned as he decked her clear out of her uniform and tumbled onto the ground.
The boy sighed as he readied himself for his next opponent and concentrated before a third eye opened up on his forehead in the center of his kabuto. "Did you really think you could sneak up on me?" He asked before he formed an elbow spike and drove it into Inumuta's stomach without looking, causing the information chair's optical camouflage to fail and him to clutch his stomach and hunch over in pain.
"M-my s-s-simulations did not foresee this…!" He groaned as he fell to his knees before he was smacked out of his uniform and landed beside the Music Club chair.
"Simulations will get you only so far. Especially since your opponent is always two steps ahead of you." Terry sighed before he faced Gamagori. "... You're a bondage loving tool. I thought there was something I didn't like about you." He said with a shudder.
"Why don't you just shut up and fight?!" The man yelled.
"Fine, then!" The host retorted before charging and landing some blows on him, but stopped when he saw him growing in size. "Kinetic absorption. Tch." He scoffed. "I got just the thing for that." He said before he held his hands to his chest as if he were holding a ball and suddenly dark energy started to gather into a sphere the size of a bowling ball.
"Symbiote... Dark Matter… BOMB!" He yelled before he hurled the orb at Gamagōri. The orb flew towards the man and since he was stationary, he was unable to dodge and was left to be consumed in a massive explosion of dark matter. When the smoke cleared, he was unconscious on the ground with his uniform deactivated.
"That's right Elite Four, bow. Bow, to your king." Terry said as he stood atop the four students in triumph. Honnouji Academy was his now, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.
But then again… Who'd have the balls to anyway?
Dragon Emperor0: Symbiote Armageddon is growing ever closer, now that Terry has control of the school.
ThermalsniperN7: Yep. Things just got more interesting. I wonder how Ryuko will react to Toxin's new Kamui form…
Dragon Emperor0: Me too. Anyway guys see you next week!
